    Osmose is less like traditional keys and more of a whole new kind of instrument. Yes- it looks like a keyboard. No it doesn't feel like any board you've played before. You can press into the keys just as well you can lightly-barely tap them. You can wiggle them. It's hyper-responsive

  • I returned it because of the built-in sounds.

    Bugs in the firmware caused various problems, but I returned it because of the built-it sounds. They are all synthesized with no sampling. Nothing much sounded like a real acoustic instrument. I have a Seaboard Rise 2 on order. The synth that ships with it can do sampling.
